What other option do we have besides walking her? The public grassy area by our house is all the way down our street so when she has to poop, I have to walk her all the way down there. What do I do when she goes onto someone else's lawn to do her business because she can't wait, except pick it up? At least I do that. She can't walk totally on the hot pavement so I have to give her a little lead on the leash so she can get into the grass or rock before her pads burn. I'm sorry if my dog goes on someone else's lawn, but I do pick it up.

I grew up in NYC, the only place for most people to walk their dogs was on the pavement....it didn't hurt those dogs it wouldn't hurt yours. You CAN keep your dog on a shorter leash! I do applaud your other efforts to create a place for your dog to go.
